I second Steve Brown's wish for cooler weather. We caugh 16 of our 29 birds in the first run of the day; by 9:30 it was hot and quiet. By 10 a.m. we had closed the nets in the sun.
Here's the rundown for the 22 new birds banded today (also had 7 recaps from recent days): Downy Woodpecker 1 Warbling Vireo 1 Black-capped Chickadee 2 Rock Wren 1 House Wren 1 Hermit Thrush 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Wilson's Warbler 4 Chipping Sparrow 9 Open 6 days per week, weather permitting, through October 16. Next scheduled day off is Friday, October 7.
